Peebee. I think that I include PPM repo for those Office applications. I have already made that repo and it works in my test build. I will include the updated defaults chooser also. What there should be in defaultXXX file. I probably update them to have pointers to Open Office, LibreOffice, Abiword and Gnumeric but I leave them commented with # so that they are not active, but easily workable by editing the file. Defaults chooser activate them also easily.

Right now I struggle with working ffmpeg-mplayer-gnome-mplayer-gecko-mediaplayer. There is problems because latest versions have severe bugs.

Hi Pemasu,
made a new build with your kernel this morning, initial impressions seem good Cool

Another thing, Dave reported in the d-lite thread about not being able to download from the puppy-common repo (pfind-4.22.pet) do you have any problems downloading from this repo? i tried changing some stuff but can't get it to work Sad

edit: there is a new woof update -
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02391
i used it today, i don't think the delayedrun fix is needed anymore - i did get an terminal cp error about rationalizing menus in /tmp during the build process?

edit2: yesterday i installed mplayer - gnome-mplayer - gecko-mediaplayer straight from the debain repos just to see what happened more than anything - they are older version but seem to work ok - playdayz posted some where in the lucid threads a compressed directory with different media files to test but i can for the life of me find it.
cheers.

Stu90. http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/Packages-puppy-common-official is the right location. I believe the DISTRO_PET_REPOS file might have puppylinux instead of that quirky where the pet repo really is.

Wrong location is http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/
Check what you have in your DISTRO_PET_REPOS file

About new woof. I have downloaded but I havent started to configure it for new build yet. Not sure if I have energy to do it this evening. Depends on other things.

Note that I have removed that ftp.nluug or whatever location so that it chooses ibiblio.

Stu90. I have those compressed test files.
I downloaded the package when playdayz posted the link.
15 Mb compressed package.

Stu90 et al. If you edit in installed puppy the DISTRO_PET_REPOS rows. You need to reboot puppy before the changes takes place. There seems to be somekind cache if you have launched PPM.

Stu90. I have copied my selection from my DOTpackages folder. I have added my packages to dpup-official and so I copy the distro needed files from the folder without those added packages. Using dpup-official makes the woof use that file as primary selection file, so I use it.
Those are the rows I use from above post. I think the nonworking reason is somwhere else.

There is isnt anything other relevant links in .packages folder.

I need to study if /usr/local/petget folder have hardcoded link to that puppylinux address.

I would like to hear what Iguleder has decided to include. He has compiled mplayer2 and ffmpeg. I believe he compiled them as static. I dont know if pupradio and other mplayer depending apps works against them and ffmpeg also needs to compiled as shared so that for example Pmusic works with it. Zigbert has done hard work with it and has created code even in his vacation. I want to support that with shared libs compiled ffmpeg.

Packages-puppy-common-official. I am now in dpup back. Even having that corrected location as I have in my test build does not seem to enable downloading from common repo.
I booted drake 003 and it has exactly same problem. Wrong location and does not download.

Pet_packages-common is Barrys repo for puppy building. It is used when you build a puppy using woof and it has the base packages for most puppies.

I dont know if Barry has thought it is not used after puppy build and it should not be included as choicable repo.

http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02312

I think it should be asked from Barry.

I posted PM to BarryK. It might take time to get respond though if I get.

In new woof the pngoverlay fix has been transferred to the 3builddistro script to be done during woof building.

Delayedrun script can be now left as default, if you dont want to edit otherwise. I will still remove the welcome message part.
